Confluence Queens FC of Lokoja will play their 2024/2025 NWFL Premiership home games at the Prince Abubakar Audu University PAAU Stadium in Anyigba, Kogi State. The decision, announced by the club’s chairman, Hon. Abdulmalik Isah, is due to ongoing renovations at the Lokoja Confluence Stadium, which currently falls short of NWFL standards.
Hon. Isah expressed gratitude for the agreement with PAAU management and voiced optimism about the future of sports in Kogi State under Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo’s leadership. The 2024/2025 NWFL season is set to commence on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, with Confluence Queens opening their campaign against Remo Stars Ladies.
Editorial
Relocating to the PAAU Stadium represents both a challenge and an opportunity for Confluence Queens. While the shift might disrupt the team’s familiarity with their home turf, it also provides an upgraded venue that aligns with NWFL requirements. This change underscores the importance of investing in sports infrastructure to meet league standards and support athlete development.
The leadership’s proactive approach reflects a commitment to maintaining Confluence Queens’ competitive edge. With the opening fixture against Remo Stars Ladies fast approaching, this transition could galvanize the team, fostering resilience and adaptability.
As supporters, we hope this move not only enhances the club’s performance but also inspires further investments in sports facilities across Kogi State.
